Public transit leaders will be discussing a possible fee increase for the T and changes in the policy governing who can ride the city’s paratransit system that serves the disabled.

Members of the city’s Public Transit Advisory Board will be accepting public comment at 5 p.m. today at City Hall.

Transit leaders are considering whether to increase the fare for the T to $1 per ride, up from 50 cents. They also have been discussing a proposal to require new riders of the paratransit system to provide a written medical note to qualify for the service.

The fare increase and the policy change will have to be approved by city commissioners. Today’s meeting marks the beginning of a required 30-day comment period.

Comments can be sent through May 11 to Lawrence Transit System, P.O. Box 708, Lawrence 66044.
